MANILA — The “queen of all media” plays the stage mom role as she attended her son’s first shooting day of the sequel of “The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin.”
“Bimby” Yap Jr., Aquino’s son with PBA star James Yap will be featured in the film starred by Aquino’s good friend, comedian, Vice Ganda.
“Stage mom of the century ang aura ni Kris Aquino dito, nakakatuwa. Nung una mini-make sure niya na nakikipag-cooperate si Bimby.
Mini-make sure niya na hindi ko tinatakot ang anak niya. Bago pa siya umuwi, sabi niya, ‘Iiwanan ko. Huwag mong takutin si Bimby,” Vice Ganda shared, as quoted in a report for ABS-CBN news.
“Malaking tulong si Bimby at malaking tulong si Kris Aquino kasi mas pinagtutuunan niya ng effort ito na bumongga kaysa sarili niyang pelikula. Mas inuna niya, mas tutok talaga siya dito,” he added in the same report.
Aquino was also given praises by the film’s director, Director Wenn V. Deramas for being very supportive during the shoot.
“Nagre-read (ng lines), siya pa ‘yung tumatawag sa interpreter kasi ang role dito ni Bimby ay galing ng China eh so hindi marunong mag-Tagalog, Chinese-speaking talaga. Masaya at nagbantay si Tetay (Kris) dito,” Deramas added.
The movie, which will be pitted against Aquino’s movie, “Feng Shui” is also an official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) which will be shown Christmas Day, this year.
